El Palacio de los Marqueses de Benamejí, año 1553.
Fue mandado a construir por el primer señor de Benamejí, Diego de Bernuy, al igual que el puente, la aceña y el trazado recto de las calles, fue posiblemente obra de Hernan Ruiz II.
Destacaban el estilo renacentista de la cúpula de casetones de su escalera principal, la belleza de su patio porticado, sus pinturas murales y sus artesonados mudéjares.
Los hermanos Machado situaron en él su obra de teatro "La Duquesa de Benamejí" y el poeta cordobés Juan Bernier le dedicó letras de admiración.
Tristemente fue derribado en 1973, pero nunca podrá borrarse su recuerdo.
El actual edificio, retranqueado, incorpora en su fachada columnas y escudos del edificio original.

The Palace of the Marquises of Benamejí, year 1553.
It was ordered to be built by the first lord of Benamejí, Diego de Bernuy, like the bridge, the water mill and the straight layout of the streets, it was possibly the work of Hernan Ruiz II.
The Renaissance style of the coffered dome of its main staircase, the beauty of its porticoed patio, its mural paintings and its Mudejar coffered ceilings stood out.
The Machado brothers placed their play "The Duchess of Benamejí" in it and the Córdoba poet Juan Bernier dedicated letters of admiration to it.
Sadly it was demolished in 1973, but its memory can never be erased.
The current building, set back, incorporates columns and shields from the original building on its façade.
